Graphically the flag of England suffers from a large white background that is quite sterile and stark. The Scottish flag being blue doesn’t have the same problem. Neither does the Swiss flag being red.

It would be interesting to see how the English flag would look if the ‘reddy’ red cross were subtly changed to a deep, almost burgundy red. Far classier.

I almost never create responses, however I looked att a few of the emarks on England | Thhe Flag InstituteThe Fllag Institute. I do have 2 questions for you iff it’s allright. Is it simply me or do a few of these ressponses come across like they arre left by brain dead folks? 😛 And, iff you are writing on other places, I would like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of every onne of all your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

I think that there should be more information regarding the flags major events and origin of the flag so that the people that don’t have any idea what the flag is about or things like that they will be able to come to this website and read about the flag.
